andrewbaba44: Two games, 6pts, zero goals conceded before playing Atletico. What are you saying? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Dollywood(m): 10:25pm On Aug 28, 2023 |
I thought Atletico was defensive team? Every time they use the 5-3-2 formation, they turn into prime Real Madrid and start whacking the hell out of their opps 7-0 against a decent Rayo Vallecano is insane. |

Kilishihunter: You have a point, but remember, defense wins you trophies, and attack wins you games. Having a better defense and a mid-attack is better than having a great attack and a mediocre defense. |

Kilishihunter: Honestly, we don't need Cancelo, Alonso, and freaking Cucurella. I'd rather sign another centre defender-and rotate him with Balde. Playing with two natural fullbacks that can't defend will make us vulnerable to counterattacks. We might not get up to 15 clean sheets this season. I'm only voicing my opinion, but I'd trust Xavi for now. |

Oldboss: Rodri is 27, while Caicedo is 21. Rodri isn't worth 200m. The point is that Caicedo is already in the top 3 best DMs in the league at the age of 21. That hype inflated his worth. Of course, he has the potential to be better than Rodri. Rodri, at Caicedo's age, was an unknown. Draw the lines, and you'll understand why he's worth that much. Mind you, Caicedo having that much potential doesn't mean he can't flop or misuse his talent. |

Culer: I watched the PSG game on Saturday, and Dembele's decision-making is one of the worst from a player who's supposed to be a world-beater. Whenever he reaches the opposition's third, his brain lags and he somewhat loses or shoots the ball to the stand. He's very lucky to still be playing at a top-flight football league. For me, he's a 2nd division league player. |

Awesome01: Down to the manager and his tactics. Try to watch a Spurs game, and you'll see midfield a excellence from Pape Mate Sarr, Maddison, and Bissoumma. I'm rooting for Spurs this season in the prem. I've been a lowkey Spurs fan in the Premier League, and this season, their new manager is smoking hot. We have a better midfield than Spurs, yet we play like garbage. It's always difficult for Barça to play an attacking game with fluidity. When I watch Spurs, I always have goosebumps. Ange Postecoglou (Spurs Manager) plays with a two-inverted full-back. This means he orders his fullbacks to invert into the midfield. And truly, when you watch Spurs, they dominate the midfield well. He plays with wide midfielders. Son and Kulu play wide, which they don't usually do. They're used to being an inside forward. Especially Son. Tottenham Hotspurs are playing beautiful football even against a low-block team, Spurs were creating chances after chances. They could have easily won 4-0 today if their attackers were more clinical. My point is that Xavi isn't innovative enough. He recycles his tactics and doesn't allow an expressive football for the youngsters to express their creativity. I mean, playing with a disciplined shape isn't bad, but Xavi isn't a manager of Barcelona's level. I hate to say this, but Xavi is not a manager that can take the club to the dreamland like Pep, Enrique, and Rijkaard. I don't know better than Xavi, but watching Barcelona's game these days is boring. There's nothing new in the team's tactics. There is no tactical innovation; our pattern is always identical to the previous match, and teams easily defend against us. Barcelona has always been a terrific team, but these days, we struggle to create chances. Like we hardly create any clear-cut chances. We shuffle and recycle passes here and there. No creativity and innovation. That's why we got trashed out of the UCL last season. Even an average Manchester United knocked us out last season. Try to watch a Spurs game, and you'll see how they delicately whip low crosses into the box and how they break presses with a one-two pass with their pivots. The way their midfielders escape pressure in a tight space. Damn. Honestly, the only creative player in our squad is Pedri. He's the only player that can wiggle out of tight spaces and press resistance. Also, Barcelona crumbles under teams that play with high intensity. Why? We're too poor in the middle of the park. No team can beat City with a high press. City players are programmed to be press-resistant. Eddie Howe said there is no press ritual effective against City. Their ball retention is so high, like the ball is glued to their feet, or their brains are programmed to a level that they know where to be, what to do, and what not to do. We have one of the best training facilities in the world, and I wonder what Xavi teaches his players. Listen, I've also realized our play is not Barcelonaesque. We play more like Real Madrid these days. In the preseason, Xavi said Arsenal played with much intensity. Of course, he'd say that. We're so bad when we're pressed behind. The UCL is all about intensity and pressure. Against Arsenal, we could hardly string passes together without losing the ball. If we can learn how to play through the press and be press-proof, then we're one step closer to immortality. Anyways, I hope Xavi proves me wrong. However, I don't like Raphinha that much. We're kidding ourselves if we think we can reach the UCL quarter-final with Raphinha as a starter. I'm not saying he's bad, but man. I'm out. 1 Like |

Kilishihunter:, There's no way you're comparing La Liga to the Brasiliero Seria A. Lewa is a veteran striker. If the team creates chances, we worry Lewandowski won't score. We're afraid of the unknown. The fact that our striker isn't scoring makes us tremble because we barely create any chances. That's why we won the league with binary scores. If we create chances like Bayern, Arsenal, City, and even Real Madrid, we wouldn't wait for our strikers. With so many chances, our 8s can run into the box to score goals. Heck, even Raphinha will rack up 20 goals per season. Bring Roque, and we'll see how many he'll score in this team that expects strikers to work their asses off to score one or two goals. Lewandowski scored 30 goals last season. That's amazing for a team that doesn't average more than 2 goals per match. If you want your striker to flourish, feed him. You don't give him crumbs and expect a bigger reward. Or have you forgotten Lewandowski didn't score a single penalty last season? That's part of what I've been trying to say. We lack creativity. Our tactics are too predictable. Low-block teams know how to defend and frustrate us. |

You are right. He deserves more than being locked up in Jail. He's a loser and an irresponsible father. Your children will grow up to hate him. Avoid him and look for somewhere else before he attacks you again, which I'm sure would be far more brutal than last time because of what you did. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

tuzle: Leicester? You're mistaken. Liverpool? Yes. Because I said you shouldn't compare yourself to City doesn't mean you shouldn't compete for the title. Thinking you're on the same level as City is a recipe for disaster. An over-inflated ego that needs to be humbled. |

tuzle: The most mistake y'all Arsenal fans make is to compare yourselves to the champions of Europe. City has been formidable since 2017. Don't compare Arteta to Guardiola or Arsenal to City. There are many battles to be fought and consistency to achieve before you can sit at the same table with City. 9 Likes 1 Share |
